DraftKings
2020 was a huge year for DraftKings. They really transitioned from a DFS/sports betting company to what they’ve now titled a “sports entertainment tech” company. While the world sat on the sidelines during the start of the pandemic, DK rolled out a ton of freeplay pools to keep players active and the site humming.
- For Super Bowl LV, DraftKings has a 10-prop contest all focused around the fourth quarter called the $55 Million Prediction Challenge.Sign up for free here, make the picks, and hold on to see if you cash in the million-dollar pool. You will have to answer questions like, “Which team will score more points in the fourth quarter?,” and “Will the fourth quarter two-minute warning happen at the two-minute mark?”
- DK will also bring back the Super Bowl Squares contest that they’ve run in previous years. $55,000 is on the line in DraftKings’ Super Bowl Squares contest and it is free to play, even for residents of states outside of where sports betting is legal. Select a square, numbers get revealed at kickoff, and prizes will be paid out each quarter.
- And the last one here is quite unique, as DK will be running a Big Game SnackDown Pool. Entry is $0 and the prize pool is a whopping $100,000. The SnackDown is a Major League Eating event in which America’s top competitive eaters will plow through an eight-layer dip, pepperoni pizza, boneless wings, chili, a sub sandwich, cheese balls, pigs in a blanket and jalapeno peppers. These snacks will be set up in a steeplechase format. DraftKings users will have to correctly pick which eater will come in first place, second place and third place, and will have to answer questions like, “Will any contestant finish a whole pepperoni pizza in one minute or less?”

DraftKings Sportsbook is going with an old favorite — Super Bowl Squares.
Technically, the book is calling it Big Game Squares because of NFL copyrights and whatnot. Now,New Jersey online sports betting is legal, but anybody in the country can play this game for free.
That’s not a typo. Big Game Squares is available for the entire country.
The entire US has a chance for a share of at least $50,000 in cash prizes. In fact, DraftKings has already pledged to bump that amount up for every 100,000 entries.
How to play Big Game Squares on DraftKings
If you’ve never played football squares before, that’s no problem. It’s not a game that requires too much thought.
Here’s what to do:
- Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app. Make an account or log in, then head to the promotions tab. Tap “Play now.”
- Choose a square. The app will present you with a 10-x-10 grid with blank squares. Select the square you feel is best.
- Get your number. Just before the game begins, the app will randomly assign each square a number. At first, the number won’t mean anything, so don’t worry about it. Just keep it in mind.
- Watch the game. Watch the 2019 Super Bowl. Pay attention to the last digit of each team’s final score.
- Win! If your square’s numbers match those two digits, you win. DraftKings will be in touch regarding your prize amount.
A few things to note:
- The board will be blank for everyone, and there’s no way to know which numbers will go to each square.
- Users will only get to pick one square, so choose wisely.
- Multiple users can pick the same square.
- DraftKings will award prizes for having the correct combination of numbers at the end of each quarter.

The fact that players must download the app to play means that a wave of new user acquisition for the company is coming. For company management, paying $50,000+ for that is a no-brainer.
Nevertheless, there’s no reason not to try it. Heck, I write about gambling for a living, and I’m going to play.
